    * People who wait until they get up to the toll booth to see if they have change.

    *People who are too lazy to put shopping carts in the parking lot cart return.

    *People* that drive in the passing lane at 5 to 10 miles below the speed limit.

    *People* who go to the express lane with like 20 or more items despite a sign that says "10 items or less."

    There are probably more, but these two are the only ones that I can think of for right now.

    1. People who tell the parents of an ugly baby that he/she is so cute.

    2. 28 year old men, living at home, pouring 25-55 thousand dollars on their Hondas, Mitsubishis, you know, the cars with the 747 wing in the back and muffler tip bigger than your head.

    3. I'm a college student, so right now I have to deliver pizzas, but it really sucks when you get to someone's house and they don't answer the freakin door. What do they say when they call later on asking about thier pizza? "I was in the backyard", "I was in the shower","I ran to the store". By the way, if you order a pizza, tip the driver!!! Even if it's late, it's not thier fault!! If you don't, you will be on the "stiff" list and you will never get a pizza on time.

    4. Paying 40 bucks a month for cable internet and visiting a website that is slow.

    5. One of them used to be going to the DPS office for a license renewal. Not anymore!!! I did it online the other day, it honestly took about 3 minutes.

    I've got some:

    "People who clip their toe(sometimes) and finger(often) nails at work....especially in a cubicle setting".

    There's nothing better than listening to the "CLIP" sound and falling nail clippings landing in the wastebasket. I just want to strangle those people. Can't you do this at home? Ahh!!!!

    "People who talk louder into the phone than is even remotely necessary(like the phone has no amplification)".

    HELLO? WHATS UP(at maximum volume)!! YEAH...NOTHING. I'M HEADING OUT. ALRIGHT?I'LL SEE YOU IN A FEW DUDE! UH HUH! LATER MANNNNNNNNNN!

    Yeah...we all heard the conversation. Thanks for that.

    "People who walk down work halls whistling melodies while breaking everyone's concentration."

    Thanks for that guy. Why don't you whistle your ass to HR and give your exit interview?

    :D

    Rubbernecking. There are few things that irritate me more.

    People who can't read a book or watch a TV show without constantly commenting on it, as if everyone else in the room wants a running commentary of what is going on inside their head.

    People who don't tip.

    Kids. Maybe if I ever have any this will change.

    Any driver over 65 who thinks that every road is a school zone (the area I live in is full of them).

    People who cut in line.

    People who don't use their turning signals.

    People that tailgate me when I'm already going above the speed limit when they could easily go around me.

    The kid next door that I often just look up or somewhere from my driveway and see up in the window playing "spy" or something, holding the blinds open, or watching us through from his garage, hiding behind his snobby mother's car, or that comes outside with some little helicopter toy, and decides to use it right as I'm backing out of the driveway, so that it lands on my car hood, and that somehow manages to set off my car alarm 50 times a day...only to end up knocking on my door wanting me to buy products from him for a fundraiser. :D

    People who don't put children in car seats.

    I have a good example of this. I was at a McDonalds drive through the other day. In the car in front of me the passenger had a baby standing on her lap. I can only imagine what would happen if they were to get into a fender bender or worse. Maybe she was using the child as her "air bag". It pissed me off.

    Or, you could get out of our way :)

    Seriously, you are one of my pet peeves in this scenario :) I mean, it would be one thing if the driver was going the speed limit and didn't want to get out of my way... At least he could argue, "it's the law". But if he's speeding already, why is his speed OK but mine too fast?

    I don't have any major pet peeves, but I do have more than a few minor ones...

    1) People who ride my bumper, regardless of what speed they and I are driving (I normally drive pretty fast). I can usually tell when someone is on my bumper because they are in a hurry to get to their destination or just driving fast, and for those people I'll get out of the way. But some people seem to ride others' bumpers for the sole purpose of being jackasses, and it's those people who rub me the wrong way.

    2) The "My Opinion is FACT!!" or "I speak the facts and all my opinions are true" kind of people.

    3) People who aren't merely satisfied with stating their view on some subject; they feel compelled to take an extra step and shove it down my throat. I suppose this is a restatement of #2.

    4) During a movie, when someone's cellphone rings.

    5) Expanding on #4, when a person's cell rings in a movie theatre, and he/she answers it and talks to the other party.

    6) Nos. 4 and 5 also apply to a classroom setting. It is very rude when someone answers his/her cellphone while the professor is lecturing. And I get annoyed when phones ring while I'm taking an exam. The annoyance is augmented when said exam is one where I MUST do well on in order to get a good grade in the course.

    7) People who leave dirty dishes and whatnot sitting on the floor, the kitchen counter, the table....and those dishes stay there for as long as a month.

    8) When I request for maintenance to come fix something in my apartment...and it takes them a very long time...like six weeks or so....before they come do it.

    9) Persistent telemarketers who call me at my apartment.

    10) People that try to sound "intelligent" and "high and mighty" by throwing in lots of big, advanced-sounding words in their posts...and it's obvious that the words don't quite fit into the context of what they're saying. It's evident that those people have been abusing their thesauruses. Sometimes this annoys me, but usually it makes me laugh...so this isn't that big of a pet peeve.

    11) In a big lecture room that seats 150+ people, professors with very soft voices who refuse to use a microphone for some reason. The problem is amplified when the professor's English is suspect in addition to having a quiet voice.

    12) Like others said above, people who abuse their pets.

    13) People who exhibit poor manners while eating in public.

    14) Whenever I'm working collaboratively with a group on some assignment or project, when one of the members doesn't quite pull his or her own weight.

    15) NBA players who play dirty.

    16) People who ride their brakes (or at least drive way below the speed limit, especially in the fast lane).

    17) Here at the Univ. of Texas, many courses (esp. larger ones) have one or more TA's (teaching assistants). For example, I took CS 372 (Operating Systems) last semester and the class had 4 or 5 TAs. TAs have their own office hours and location where students can come for help. What gets on my nerves is when a TA forgets to attend or skips his office hours without an explanation. Even worse is when the same TA also has a poor understanding of the material being taught in class...and the TA doesn't care.

    For the people that have problems with others riding thier bumbers, that's an easy fix, just break check them. I will tell you right now, if you ride my ass, I will stomp on my breaks for a milli second and you might have to turn around and go home to change clothes. If you hit me, it' s your loss, you were traveling at an unsafe distance from my car. Give me an insurance check, please!!! Don't do this if the car behind you is a rust bucket hooptie though, unless you have uninsured motorist protection.
